Here’s 4 good reasons to go to the SocalCodeCamp at the University of Southern California (USC) campus this weekend:
1. It’s free!
2. Learn new technologies from lots of great sessions, including my 2 sessions listed below. 
3. The DevExpress crew will be there so come drop by our table to say Hi.
4. Free candy!! Yes, we’ve some got some goodies left over from Halloween.
DevExpress is happy to sponsor this event, which will help you learn about new technologies and meet fellow developers.
Directions/Logistics: Code Camp Los Angeles, November 9th & 10th @ USC
My Sessions
There’s ton’s of sessions but be sure to come by the 2 talks that I’m giving on Saturday morning:
Easy/Robust/True cross-browser web testing with TestCafé
8:45 AM - Saturday, November 09, 2013
Location: WPH 206
Come check out how you can run functional tests in any browser that supports HTML5. Run tests on remote computers, mobile devices, multiple browsers, multiple machines in parallel, and even tests in the background. And, you can write the tests in JavaScript. It even runs on different operating systems: Windows, Linux, or Mac machines.
Write once, deploy to multiple mobile platforms
10:00 AM - Saturday, November 09, 2013
Mobile | JavaScript | HTML5
Location: WPH 206
Creating mobile apps is tough enough. Now try supporting a native look and feel for the top mobile platforms (iOS, Andorid, Windows 8). This session will show you how HTML5 and JavaScript can create cross-platform and native-style apps with ease. You'll see PhoneJS, ChartJS, and PhoneGap in action.
Come by my session if you want to see some of the slick new HTML5 technologies and products that DevExpress has been working on. Also, I’d love to meet you in person and get your thoughts on our new products.
